The first goal of the EU FP7-SME 222051 project “ACCEPT- Advanced CO2 Cleaning as an Ecological Process Technology” is to achieve an improved LCO2 cleaning performance of pliable (textiles and leathers) and hard surfaces (medical devices, implants and fine metal parts), and reach a higher end-product quality, more secure cold temperature hygiene (disinfection ) sterilisation and lower economic costs, at the full-scale level.

COBISS.SI-ID: 14186006Hygienic management of textile laundry includes: washed textiles supplying from laundry to departments, textiles storage in suitable nursery school departments, usage and collecting the dirty cloths in the place of usage, dirty textile transporting to the laundry and laundering. Dirty and clean textiles must be strict separated and crossing the ways is not allowed. In case of collecting of dirty and clean textiles in the same storage place, must be assured a intermediate time and perfectly area cleaning.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1602468In framework of Project SMILES (“Sustainable Measures for industrial Laundry Expansion Strategies: Smart Laundry-2015”) were determined low-temperature laundering conditions, degree of textile disinfection at different laundering temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C and 60 °C), reduced energy consumption, decreasd the environment pollution and increased the savings.

COBISS.SI-ID: 14732310In our research we determined the antimicrobial effect of laundering hospital textiles by simulating a common laundering procedure for hospital textiles in the laboratory washing machine at different temperatures by the use of the indicator bacteria: Mycobacterium terrae as a representative of Mycobacterium family. It was found that M. terrae survived laundering at 35° and 45°C but was completely inactivated at 60°C. The chosen laundering procedure has an effective disinfection effect and at the same is more ecological and economical than thermal laundering procedures.

COBISS.SI-ID: 14244374The hygiene level of textiles from the food-processing industry were evaluated using German RAL-GZ 992 quality assurance system, European standard RABC and HACCP-sistems (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) in Slovenian laundries and aerobic, coliform and Escherichia coli count at critical control points (CCP) in Norwegian laundries. Using regular cleaning and disinfecting devices and surfaces measures by all staff members and achieving a disinfection effect of laundering procedures are most important in achieving an appropriate hygiene level in laundries.
